Top weight Backcraft may be more exposed than most but will relish the testing conditions and can go well fresh so gets the TEAMtalk nod to add to his trainer's excellent record at the track. Mrs Jodi has been a little below her best of late but is slipping down the weights and has definite place claims. Ontos has enjoyed a great campaign of late though the handicapper now looks to have found his measure and he would prefer faster ground anyway. Of the remainder, Eastern Tribute will have no problems regarding trip or ground but looks worth opposing off his current mark while Welcome To Unos has performed with credit in better company than this at both Wetherby and Huntingdon and could be very interesting off a light weight.
